Instead of fishing Tolly, maybe you should have some additional English lessons from a private tutor during your two week break. Your spelling and grammar is attrocious boy!

by **tolly** » Mon Apr 04, 2005 8:27 pm

Your spelling and grammar is attrocious boy!

by **Cockney Wideboy** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 6:44 am

by **dave** » Fri Jul 22, 2005 6:47 pm

i hate school holidays :evil:

by **Gormer** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 1:39 pm

Hardly suprising though when it only costs em £20,

I'd rather pay £120+ for my ticket to have a maxium 1000 members and no under 18's allowed to night fish. :lol:

by **FatBoySlim** » Sat Jul 30, 2005 8:06 pm

i was jokin guys

im off for six weeks....not a bad start so far.
i did a night at bov 2 and banked a 15lb common and a 19lb 8oz common!

by **josh white** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:43 pm

by **josh white** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 8:44 pm

by **Shimano_addict** » Mon Aug 08, 2005 9:29 pm

im seeing double :shock:

by **SamB** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 11:17 am

You can't say that 'all school children and under 18's' are bad news becasue most of us are alot better behaved on lakes compared to some adults who get tanked up on a night. Put thier lights on and talk loud.

You guys are too sterotypical.

by **Fcuked Off** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 12:20 pm

Just wait until you turn 18 and get caught up in the demons of beer :lol:

by **Fcuked Off** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 12:58 pm

I know Steve, I was just trying to keep within the laws :lol:

.

Strange as it may seem I got asked for ID in my local on my 21st birthday, I had only been drinking there for 5 years :lol:

by **Gormer** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 3:49 pm

fair point sam but i think serious juniors can afford £60
the ones i spoke to were only fishing coz it was cheap and their parents don't want hanging around, they should stay on the rivers and small fish dayticket lakes learning their water craft like most of us have done not fishing lakes with potential 30lbers in. i just think there is gonna be a problem soon with these kids taken a peg each night fishing with little reels and crap

line hooks etc and no knowledge of handelling fish.

by **Guest** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 6:34 pm

True point but there is quite a few experianced young anglers.
I haven't seen many kids except from the time millet city was in the car park.

It is the same with some adults some adults have not much knowledge.
Do you think they should they should go and fish small rivers and lakes?

When you have bought your ticket you can fish where you want. Along as you abide by the rules i don't think it matters how you fish aslong as you have the right equipment for the job. Like if you were going for carp a sufficant unhooking mat a carp firendly net. Decent end tackle, safe rigs.

I can see your point as some anglers do not do this. Mainly younger kids and yes it would be good for kids to go onto other day tickets and learn but they do need more experianced people to help them on there way.

by **SamB** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 6:36 pm

That was my post above.
Didn't know i was not logged in as i had left the web page up because i was sorting out my fishing stuff.

by **methodmaster** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 9:44 am

me and sam go fishing together regularly and i think that we are better behaved and take our fishing more seriously than many "grown up" anglers that are fishing big carp waters today.

i just think there is gonna be a problem soon with these kids taken a peg each night fishing with little reels and line hooks etc and no knowledge of handelling fish.

me and my friends have worked hard and saved up for there fishing gear i personally have spent thousands in all. I have been fishing for around 10 years now and have been taught how to protect and hold fish while they are on the bank.

by **The Laird** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 10:17 am

Inexperience is not restriceted to juniors, I know many junior members that visit the shop and many of them could teach some of the adults a thing or two. Many of the young members are very eager and put many hours of study into learning their craft and constantly ask questions, whereas some adults simply put on a hook and float and then blame the water when they dont catch. Junior members are a necessary part of the club and are the future of the club. If juniors join a club they will often stay with the club for many years as opposed to the many adults who flit from club to club.
Im afraid if people dont want juniors then they must join the very expensive syndicates (which often attract inexperienced adults who can't catch big fish on normal waters and need waters that are stocked with lots of biggies to stand a chance).
